"...This much is certain: Her name is Julia Masli, and the show she’s brought to Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company after it became a buzzy, sold-out hit at last summer’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe consists largely of her briefly interviewing audience members and trying to come up with an on-the-spot solution for whatever is troubling them. “Problehhhhhhhm?” she queries, stretching out the word’s second vowel sound in a high-pitched voice that makes everything she says sound like a sigh."

"...What we retain of an experience in live theater may be a memory of characters, a story, melodies, stage pictures, and such. But central to any lasting recall will not be anything in particular seen or heard on stage but rather the feeling we felt inside while there in person. And that is the genius of ha ha ha ha ha ha ha: it invites us into a precious feeling of shared openness and empathy, and a baseline trust in the presence of others whom we may not know — the very human sensorial option now being foreclosed with such furor on our national stage."

"...In her surrealistic presentation, Masli poses questions about the worries facing the people she approaches. In some cases she invites them onstage with her and provides them with props that could help ease their concerns: at this performance, she helped assuage a viewer's worry about climate change by giving him three (working) electric fans to cool him. She destroyed a wooden chair and later brought a man onstage to repair it. Her goal, even displayed in this farcical way, is to remake the world so it will again be livable and serve the needs of the creatures who live on it."

MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended

"...There’s something risky about going to a show billed as improvisational and includes audience participation. The press release states: “Audiences can expect an entirely different show every night…an attempt by Julia Masli, an Estonian clown, to fix audience members’ problems using her signature wit, humor, and empathetic approach.” You don’t know what to expect and may feel a bit apprehensive, but there is nothing to fear, and a great deal to gain, from this charming and humorous performance, co-directed by Masli and Kim Noble."

BroadwayWorld- Highly Recommended

"...Steeped in a European existential sensibility, with healthy doses of theatre of the absurd, and an eerie ambience, --performance artist Julia Masli alternately entrances and provokes the audience with her finely honed comedic skills in the deliciously interactive production entitled ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
